What's on

Master's circles

Qi Baishi was one of the most accomplished and productive artists of the 20th century. His career spanned decades and was marked by several turning points associated with his mentors and close friends. For example, he was invited by his friend, Xia Wuyi, to travel in Shaanxi province in 1902. This became the first of a series of extensive journeys in the country. These trips helped expand his vision and inspired him to carry out important explorations in art.

Splendid and Rich, an exhibition at the Liaoning Provincial Museum, focuses on Qi and his circle of mentors, friends and disciples, and how these relationships influenced his creation and career. It shows paintings, calligraphic pieces and engraved seals, some of which were co-created by Qi and people who had special places in his life, such as Hu Qinyuan, his teacher and sponsor in his younger years.

The exhibition marks the 160th anniversary of Qi's birth. It runs until March 23.

9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 157 Zhihui Sanjie, Hunnan district, Shenyang, Liaoning province. 024-2320-5102.
